      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997
                           (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries.  These statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and the instructions
to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods have been included.  Operating results for the three
months ended December 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998.  The accompanying consolidated financial
statements and the information included under the heading
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes of FRP Properties, Inc. for the year ended
September 30, 1997.

(2)  Earnings Per Share. Effective December 31, 1997, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 replaced the
presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) and fully
diluted EPS with a presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic
earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods.  Diluted earnings
per share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares and potential dilution of securities that could share in
earnings.  Earnings per share for all prior periods have been
restated.

(3)  Contingent Liabilities.  The Company and its subsidiaries
are subject to legal proceedings and claims arising out of their
businesses that cover a wide range of matters.  Additional
information concerning these matters is presented in Note 10 to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
1997 Annual Report to stockholders.  Such information is
incorporated herein by reference.






  


                                     


                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                           Operating Results

The following table summarizes the Company's revenues, cost of operations,
and gross profit by its business segments (in thousands):

                                                 Three Months
                                                   Ended December 31,

  Real estate                                          846        918
                                                   $13,697     13,035
Gross profit:
  Transportation                                   $ 2,477      2,265
  Real estate                                        1,497      1,098
                                                   $ 3,974      3,363
                              

For the first quarter of fiscal 1998, ended December 31, 1997, consolidated
revenues increased 8% over the same periods last year.   The Transportation
segment revenues increased 7% due principally to a 6% increase in miles
hauled coupled with a slight increase in the average hauling price.  Real
Estate revenues increased 16% over last year.   Real Estate increase in
revenues was primarily due to $195,000 of timber sales in fiscal 1998 and
lease up from a warehouse/office building that was under construction in
the first quarter of 1997.

Gross profit in Transportation increased $212,000 from the first quarter
last year.   The increase was due primarily to an increase of $172,000 in
gains on the sale of equipment and reduced fuel costs.

Gross profit in the Real Estate segment increased $399,000.   This increase
was primarily due to gross profit of $188,000 on the sales of timber in the
first quarter of 1998, the first quarter of 1997 included a write off of
$134,000 in prior tenant improvement resulting from leasing existing space
to a new tenant and higher rental income due to leasing this space and
lease up of project under construction last year.

The selling, general and administrative expense remained stable.   Selling,
general and administrative expense as a percent of sales was 8.6% in the
current quarter, down from 9.3% in the same quarter last year.

Interest expense increased $86,000 due primarily to an increase in the
average debt outstanding and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the
average interest rate.   These increases were partially offset by a greater
capitalization of interest in fiscal 1998.



Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with
sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other
operating requirements.

Other.

During fiscal 1997, the transportation segment's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 31% of transportation's revenue.  The loss of
any one of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's
revenue and income.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such
regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the Company's
capital expenditures or operating results.  Additional information
concerning environmental matters is presented in Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report to stockholders.  Such information is incorporated herein by
reference.
